Household Essentials Parallel Clothesline Dryer, Umbrella Clothes Dryer with 182 Feet of Drying Space, Collapsible Top for Easy Storage, rust resistant

I had one of this type of clotheslines that has been in our backyard for about 40 years in the blazing Tucson sun. It had never been taken down in all that time. Yes I've had to replace the line portion a couple times but never had a problem till I washed some bathroom rugs. Went to hang one of them and the nylon plastic parts finally broke. I looked and looked on line and finally came across this one. It looked exactly like what we had so I decided to order one to see if it matched. Well, it matched perfectly!! So much so that I didn't have to replace the bottom pipe that goes in the ground. All I did was take some emory cloth to the necked down part of the pole, lubed it with some silicone spray and installed the upper portion. Wife was like, You are already done??? I don't remember how much we paid for the original one but if this last another 40 years I don't believe I'll be around at that time. In the pictures you can see the old pole in the ground and the new upper part. Yes I'm glad I purchased this one!!!

IF YOU ARE USING THE EXISTING BASE ... please be advised... if you reuse it - it will raise your clothesline up to 10 feet! HAHAHAHAHAHA! The original base was for a solid steel 1960 CLOTHES LINE! The Hurricanes damaged the one I had been using for years - thanks, no thanks to Hurricane Milton! All I will need to do is re-establish the original base. No big deal! Just got to dig a hole and bury it deeper! This clothesline is MIDDLE sized - the 1960 one was an extra-large size, so it is SMALLER than the original one - but of course, I do not have children anymore, just grandchildren. It's perfect sized for a Family of 2- 3. The Larger size would be good for a family of 4-5 and the Extra Large Size would be perfect for a family of 5 and up. The Small size would be great for those residing in Trailer Parks (if permitted) or a Condo with a backyard (if also permitted). The LINES are nicely spaced to allow Solar / Sun %26 Wind Power Drying! Very Easy to install and Easy in taking down. It's really simple on the ease of use. Remember, you WILL always have to "re-tighten" the lines - they will stretch out after several uses. Overall, the lifespan lasts forever! 1ST IMAGE - I remounted it to display the parallel lines 2ND IMAGE - Original base to the 1960 Clothesline is in the White Box... I will redig it and lower it (reuse / recycle)

I just absolutely love my new clothes line. It is very sturdy, and I have lots of room for several loads of laundry. Great product for the price. Highly recommended

I have a few rentals and some of my renters wanted to save me money by using these clothes lines rather than electric dryers. I'm all for that and got this unit from Walmart. Everything went well from my online order to picking it up at the store. Sure made things easy and saved me a lot of time.

Every year when the warm weather rolls around I feel guilty about using my clothes dryer. So here's my solution. This baby is wonderful. Holds more than 4 loads of clothes/sheets/etc. The fitting allows it to be removed from the anchor in the ground, in order to mow the lawn. It's the best investment I've made in some time.

The wires are not very sturdy. When you close it, be sure to bundle the wires together like they were before first opened or you will have a tangled mess. I used an umbrella base instead of mounting in ground as I saw another buyer mention. Had to cut a foot off pole so I could reach to hang clothes. That works well. My base is 30 pounds. . I do not leave outside since that was not recommended.

I have installed the umbrella-type clothesline and it seems very nice. It was easy to open and appears sturdy. However, I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach the lines. I may need to use a step stool to hang up my clothes. I am wondering if there is a way to cut 6 inches off of the tube.

Overall this is a great product. We put it in a cast iron umbrella stand so we could easily move it. However in doing this it made the Product way to tall for my 5'4 stature. Easy fix we cut off about 8 inches of the bottom part of the post with a hack saw. My only complaint is that the lines are loose and are already sagging after only 3 loads being hung on it.

While this is a well made unit using high quality materials it has a few shortcomings. The clothesline itself is protected with a plastic coating to preserve it from weather...but it is too thin. Spring clip clothespins are designed for use on a clothes line rope about 1/4 inch thick. This line is barely 1/8" making it difficult to keep your clothes on the line. The other area of concern is the actual arrangement of the lines. If you have ever used a traditional clothes reel in the past you were able to hang clothes on four sides. With this unit the lines run in only one direction...across....so you can only hang on two sides. Far too many lines as well, too close together, making it difficult to use the multiple lines.

I love the idea of this dryer but when we where putting it up one of the corners hit the ground and the metal frame snapped. We fixed it with duct tape but it no longer folds up. While I would recommend the idea of this type of dryer I would not recommend this brand.
